What impressed you positively?

1) Combination between lectures and PBL is great, exactly what I'm looking for. 2) Student body is very friendly and there seems like a lot of camaraderie. 3) A lot of research opportunities.

What impressed you negatively?

Gross Anatomy is prosection only, but there is a dissection elective you can take (especially if you are interested in a surgical specialty).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That if you drive on a road where the train passes by, it can take FOREVER to get across if there is a train there.

What are your general comments?

You have two interviews during the day, 30 minutes each. Each interview is one-on-one with either a student or faculty member (one interview you will have a student and one interview you will have a faculty member). It is very relaxed, much more than I thought it would be, because the interviewers are so personable and really interested in getting to know you, not trying to stump you with questions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
